As the creator of Atlanta, This is America, Because the Internet and Awaken My Love, as well as the beloved character of Community's Troy Barnes, there's something for everyone to appreciate. But what does it take to reach the heights of Childish Gambino himself?

I love how he didn’t restrict himself to one path. He’s proof that humans are limitless in the potential they can create.
-
This man's list of talents is incredible: - Writer - Actor - Director - Stand-up comedian - Rapper - Freestyler - Singer - Voice actor - Producer Most people dream of doing one of these things but Gambino is absolutely in a league of his own..
-
It’s crazy you can make a 16 minute video feel like a fully fledged documentary
-
i knew you werent going to mention adventure time because its such a small part in donalds story, but adventure time is where i found out about him. he played marshall lee a couple times, and even sung a song in an episode, and was SO DAMN GOOD AT IT. this man can really do ANYTHING from acting, comedy, screenplay, AND voice acting. hes such a cool human being.

"No one is going to outdo you at being you". -Donald Glover . Loved this so much!
-
This was an incredibly well done video, you earned yourself a new subscriber!
-
The way he took his career in many directions and succeeded in basically everything is so inspiring to me as an artist that have many different things I wanna do in art
-
I did a research paper on Donald Glover, and it was one of the hardest thing I have ever had to do in school. The fact that you not only made a 16 minute video about him, but also put in some absolutely amazing editing is just incredible. You are one of the best youtubers on the platform right now.
-
The quality of your work is UNBELIEVABLE. You are CRIMINALLY underrated. Excited to see you grow. We were here before he became famous!
-
Donald is easily one of the greatest and most versatile artists of our generation. A true genius mind that still fails to get as much appreciation as he should.
-
He is the antithesis to popculture, where fans always just want "more of the same" from a creator. He is showing that having something wildly new every time is the best thing ever. Can't wait for what he does next that I don't expect.
-
i always just thought childish gambino as childish gambino nothing more, till my friend introduced me to community, and it just open doors to doors and proud to say im so proud to see how much hes grown as a person and as a writer, actor and director. im wishing nothing but the best for him hes an inspiration really.
-
brilliant once again, Dodford
-
This was a real gift to recieve. It's inspiring to see the story of someone who let their creativity evolve so boldly. The video feels beautifully crafted & dense with ideas & feeling. I feel like I'm walking away with a deeper understanding of Donald, but also something even deeper I can't quite articulate about what it means to be creative. Thank you.

Great vid Donald's a legend
-
Donald Glover is without a doubt a human tsunami of creativity. I’d lose my mind if the Star Wars franchise actually made a stand alone Lando Calrissian film. Would love to see an episode on Will Poulter. He’s genuinely a fascinating actor whose career is going from strength to strength. The dude grinds away and he’s definitely one of the actors who will pave his own road ahead.

donald glover is a genius. i can’t believe that one person can be this talented at every kind of entertainment. genuinely so impressive
-
My guy your are a documentary genius! this video took me for such an awesome ride. The kind of research you do and ur editing style with ur soothing perfect voice over mixed with such fast paced yet not too fast story telling covering all the points in detail AND THAT TOO IN JUST UNDER 16 Minutes! its just so awesome man i love your work. Keep it up man and best of luck for your future. Hope your talent gets recognised by billions around the world
-
I’m always so inspired by Glover because he doesn’t fit nicely into a little box. He’s limitless. He shows that it’s possible to be and do anything.

Your editing is punchy but doesnt sacrifice flow. The scripting is solid, concise and it is constantly towing the line between building tension and delivering relief. You should be exceptionally proud of yourself! I learned a lot from this about DG and enjoyed every second of it.
